Boulder attack: What are the charges against Mohamed Sabry Soliman? ‘First-degree murder' among list of felonies
Charges have been revealed against the man who attacked a group of people who had gathered in support of Israeli hostages in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday afternoon, June 1. Police said eight people were hospitalized with burns after Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, tossed Molotov cocktails at the gathering while shouting "free Palestine."
Soliman was taken into custody without incident and later transferred to a hospital to be examined after being hurt during the attack, according to ABC News. He is being held on $10,000,000 bond, according to the Boulder County Jail. Soliman is an Egyptian national identified by the White House as an 'illegal alien' who overstayed his visa.
According to Boulder County Jail booking records, Soliman was arrested on the following charges, as reported by kxan:
It is unclear why Soliman is facing a first-degree murder charge, as there have been no fatalities in the attack.
Meanwhile, following the attack, Gov. Jared Polis wrote on X, 'I am closely monitoring the situation in Boulder, and my thoughts go out to the people who have been injured and impacted by this heinous act of terror. Hate-filled acts of any kind are unacceptable. While details emerge, the state works with local and federal law enforcement to support this investigation. More information will be provided as it becomes available.'
In another post, Polis wrote, 'As the American Jewish community continues to reel from the horrific antisemitic murders in Washington, D.C., it is unfathomable that the Jewish community is facing another terror attack here in Boulder, on the eve of the holiday of Shavuot no less. Several individuals were brutally attacked while peacefully marching to draw attention to the plight of the hostages who have been held by Hamas terrorists in Gaza for 604 days. I condemn this vicious act of terrorism, and pray for the recovery of the victims.'

'...I found it very much productive and very meaningful, and I found a consensus among everyone in favour of India, especially on the issue of terrorism. Everyone condemned the terrorist attacks that happened, and everyone was supportive of the efforts that India is making to counter terrorism.
